课程概述

Mindshift is designed to help boost your career and life in today’s fast-paced learning environment. Whatever your age or stage, Mindshift teaches you essentials such as how to get the most out of online learning and MOOCs, how to seek out and work with mentors, the secrets to avoiding career ruts (and catastrophes) and general ruts in life, and insights such as the value of selective ignorance over general competence. We’ll provide practical insights from science about how to learn and change effectively even in maturity, and we’ll build on what you already know to take your life’s learning in fantastic new directions. This course is designed to show you how to look at what you’re learning, and your place in what’s unfolding in the society around you, so you can be what you want to be, given the real world constraints that life puts on us all. You’ll see that by using certain mental tools and insights, you can learn and do more—far more—than you might have ever dreamed! This course can be taken independent of, concurrent with, or subsequent to, its companion course, Learning How to Learn. (Mindshift is more career focused, and Learning How to Learn is more learning focused.)...

Excellent MOOC. Has some very useful tips and also breaks the myth that one cant study after a particular age.In fact, after doing this, I feel learning is a life long process and the sky is the limit

The "Mindshift" course on Coursera, developed by McMaster University and taught by Dr. Barbara Oakley, focuses on unlocking your potential through learning strategies and career transformation. It explores how to overcome obstacles like procrastination, leverage diverse skills (the "talent stack"), and embrace mindshifts—deep changes in thinking or career paths—at any age. Key topics include the focused and diffuse modes of learning, the Pomodoro technique, the neuroscience of learning, and the value of lifelong learning. The course emphasizes practical tools like meditation, reframing negative emotions, and integrating unrelated skills for innovation.

It's a lot of easy basic ideas about learning. It's not horrible advice if you're a slower learning or need advice in learning how to learn. I think this course would be great for people who need a bit of encouragement about learning. Or if they're new to MOOCs or learning in general. It's not bad information. Just be aware that if you're taking more difficult courses or have read books or are a more advanced learner, this course doesn't have much to offer.

Some of the professor's viewpoints are extremely biased and don't represent findings in modern neuroscience. The unnecessary inclusion of gender politics really turned me off the course material and made me lose credibility in the instructor.

A lot less substance compared to the original course. The only usefull info in the first two parts of the course (I stopped after that) was the mention of Alex Vermeer' guide to defeat procrastination.

Some valuable information, but delivery can get excruciating. Finished with honours but did not receive a certificate indicating that.

The course was a combinqtion of interesting topics. Howeverm it seems a bit old, and it didn't add much to my previous knowledge.

Personally, I found the content to be boring. The course focuses on basic psychology and videos range from 30 secs - 10 mins each, which is quite annoying.
